Promise Campaign
Winsor began as a promise to girls. For more than 125 years, Winsor’s leaders and most fervent supporters have kept that promise. Two simple truths have driven them: girls deserve our best, and even the best schools cannot stand still. This is a defining moment. The future of Winsor—and the girls—is in our hands.

Winsor’s reputation for academic excellence has drawn families for generations. They want the world for their daughters. So do we. We encourage and expect the best from every girl. Teachers wonder how each student will excel, not if she will.
